The Firm Promos: Attorney at Loss

Mitch McDeere can't escape his past.

In NBC's The Firm - a series based on a movie that was based on a John Grisham novel - Josh Lucas stars as an attorney who entered Witness Protection after turning in his former bosses at a southern law firm. It's now 10 years later and McDeere is hired by a new company in D.C.

But, as the first two previews for the upcoming drama prove, Mitch is not exactly in the clear. Get your first look at the series, which debuts with a two-hour episode on January 8 before moving to its regular time slot of Thursday at 10 p.m., below and decide: Worth a shot?
